The wise, intentional, creative and incredibly heartfelt Kyle Steed is back with us for a round 2 interview! We we were able to go a bit deeper in this one having set things up last time to talk about the muse, creative resistance, whether inspiration exists and beyond. Kyle takes us through the twists and turns of his creative career including his time in the airforce. We uncover some very interesting thoughts around self belief, internal narrative and how this shapes how we view ourselves. And perhaps my favourite part of the whole chat, equally enjoyable and uncomfortable, we get into paradoxes of life, art and beyond. Kyle has this great ability to very quickly get to the heart of an idea and bring everything back in perspective that I admire, so enjoy this chat with Kyle Steed, again.

Madeline Holt is an incredibly considered and wise creative human that applies her hand at many different artistic outputs, most recently her practice has her working with light installations. Madeline has such a bank of wisdom that we pick through piece by piece, most of which was self taught and we learn was gleaned through trial and error. During our chat we learn about the intentional process that Madeline holds in her practice down to the colour of foods she eats, dive into her winding creative journey, and learn why music is tightly linked to her creative output. I think what I loved most about this conversation is the fantastically healthy and positive perspective that Madeline has not only on creativity but life in general. Madeline talks about how to beat the resistance through friendship and finding your tribe, she shares her experiences and learnings with us about trust, ambiguity, finding yourself and your style. So many great analogies and mantra's shared in this one, too many to count, so I hope you enjoy. Jump in as Madeline makes me blush, we do my favourite thing in the whole world, talk gardening analogies and we launch Madelines Mantra.

"The ability to be adaptable and be able to change and pivot is a really valuable tool or reflex within the creative practice.  "Trust and show up for the practice."

I had the pleasure of speaking to Nimrod Weis, one of the co-founders of the extremely creative, highly inventive and wonderfully playful studio ENESS. ENESS is an art and technology company who design evocative interactive experiences for public, commercial and cultural entities. The work that ENESS produces is able to hit that sweet spot of art that is able delight both a 6 year old and a 60 year old simultaneously, they are also masters of balancing art, commerce, technology and design. During our conversation we dive into the inception of the studio and how from day one Nimrod and his business partner have been reinvesting every spare dime and minute back into the work. We go through Nimrods creative routine and practices and uncover the correlation between a high performing athlete and an artist. It is really fabulous to hear the inner-workings and thoughts on process and the creative practice from Nimrod and we end up diving pretty deep into the psychology of creativity and curiosity. Join us as we uncover quantum physics, discover why the goal isn't to have no problems at all but rather to have more interesting problems and why nimrod sits on the floor.

Gavin is a true creative polymath, stretching his hands from directing, design, music, photography, writing and speaking. Gavin has been working with the Oscar winning animation studio Aardman for 14 years, mecca of stop motion, perhaps best known for bringing to life the wonderful and childhood shaping characters Wallace and Grommit. Gav is hilarious, articulate so curious and creative, and one of the most grateful humans we have had on the show. During our chat, we go through what it's like being a multi disciplinary creative in a world where specialising is typically more coveted, how being technology and medium agnostic can open you up to unique crossover and connections and he absolutely hits the nail on the head with the topic of style and finding your voice. Gav takes us through a snapshot of his process when directing the stunning and emotional stop motion animated short film, Turtle Journey.  I Hope you enjoy this episode where we pay tribute to the cement layers and manual labourers of the world, wig out over disrupting the space time continuum and Gav and I accidentally invent the newest version of LowFi beats to chill to.   Gavin Strange JamFactory @jamfactory JamFactory Twitter Aardman @Aardmananimations     Links The Imagineering Story  Peter Lord  Turtle Journey Film  Creature comforts  Morph  All This Mayhem  Seven title sequence  Teenage Engineering OP-1      Quotes "I love everything and I want to try and do everything whenever I can."

Kris is an extremely vibrant, creative and passionate human being and his work reflects this. Kris, starting his creative journey in advertising, now works with all the big boys like Nike, Adidas and Apple just to name a few. During this conversation we hear about Kris growing up as a kid getting his start in creativity and being not the typical child creative prodigy that you might expect. Kris and I dive into how his reason to create stems from the injustices and his frustration around inequality. We also talk about paying your dues and being realistic about the long path to success often being lined with potholes and designing millions of Vodafone ads. We go through Kris's work ethic, his dealings with imposter syndrome and why trusting your instincts, not overthinking and speaking your mind, might just land your work, like it did for Kris, in the Louvre. We also get nitty gritty from things like Kris's morning routine and how he combats the often odd and unpredictable hours of being a freelance creative to how important it is to make investments into your work and sacrificing a few luxuries to reach your goals. Listen in as we try to remember scientific facts, quote the show Friends for the first time in the podcast's history and learn who Klaus is.

Kate Isobel Scott is an incredibly talented artist who's chosen visual language, through mediums such as plasticine, embroidery and animation, is visceral, playful, slightly nostalgic, and completely gorgeous. Kate has a really unique ability to unapologetically move seamlessly between mediums and disciplines, bringing strengths and experiences from one creative category into another. During our chat we talk about giving ample space to explore, experiment and find your creative voice. What I loved most about our conversation is how Kate gives herself and us permission to make mistakes, try new things, and not only accept our unique quirks and challenges but actually lean into these, double down on them, feature them and use them as a superpower. Ultimately we learn one of the greatest lessons of all, that fitting in is highly overrated. I hope you enjoy this episode where you can listen to us try and do math, complain about modern kids shows, and find out why Kate spends her free time learning how to make baskets.

We are welcoming back Bruce as he is our first two time guest, coming in for an encore to take us through the gorgeous work he does with design mockups under the name Studio Yorktown. Studio Yorktown takes mockups to another level, another planet even, it's not even really fair to call anything else a mockup after looking at these. During our conversation Bruce walks us through the genesis of the company, his process and even his day to day ethos and journey in staying creatively healthy. We learn what Bruce looks for in setting up a scene in terms of light, shadows and composition. Bruce encourages us to stop procrastinating, hiding behind tools and excuses and just use what you have, do the thing and start making. We learn what drives someone to make a mockup of a cd on fire. We seek to answer the age old question, if you make work, but don't share it on instagram, did it ever even happen?" And I make many strange diving analogies to creativity.

Kyle Steed is a fascinating, poetic and creative force based in Dallas Texas. We go from end to end in this one from the bipolar implications of social media all the way through to balancing creative work with kids and intentionally slowing down your work and process. You might hear Kyle doing some doodling during our conversation and you can even hear his markers moving across the page and the caps coming on and off in the gaps of our talk, all of which I deliberately left in the final cut as I think this sets the stage perfectly for the intentionality and level of creativity that Kyle bring to the table. Kyle drops so many wisdom bombs on life, parenting, seasons, weathering the hard times and ultimately having a perspective on the process that is unlike anyone I have spoken to. I got so much out of this chat with Kyle and I hope you do as well, make sure you listen closely and read between the lines as there are some really profound moments in this conversation.

Kwame Bruce Busia possibly better known – especially in design circles – as StudioYorktown does many, many things with a high level of skill including being a singer/songwriter, producer, designer, photographer and entrepreneur. One of those things is having a love and knowledge for blockchain tech, crypto currencies and yes the topic of the day NFTs. I was getting pretty tired of everyone talking about NFT's but using a string of acronyms to describe another acronym, always skirting the topic of what the hell they actually are and how you make them and why anyone should care. Bruce does an incredibly articulate job of breaking down the why, what, how, pros and cons and future of this tech and what it means for anyone in or pursuing a creative career. We even unpack some of the deep creative wisdom in Japanese culture and specifically talk through some poignant creative moments in the film Jiro Dreams of Sushi.

Brendan Cato is first and foremost a chef of a very high caliber, but perhaps more pertinent to the topic of this conversation Brendan is a winemaker and roaming food forager. I loved so many parts of this conversation and we cover many aspects of winemaking, but as usual I dig deep into Brendan's process including his unique, minimal intervention and locally sourced approach to winemaking and cooking. Brendan has a unique relationship with ambiguity and experimentation that seems to drive a lot of his success. Perhaps not surprisingly we uncover some amazing creative roots in making wine and to illustrate this Brendan takes us through a story demonstrating why constraints in a creative capacity rather than stifling can be like pouring jet fuel on a fire. It was a joy talking to someone so refreshingly humble and authentic in the dedication behind everything they do.

Charl is the founder and creative director of the renowned digital focussed agency Love & Money. During our conversation Charl breaks down some fascinating methodology around digital design like atomic design and memetics that, let's be honest, most of which goes way over my head, but is super fascinating nonetheless. We talk about how swiftly kicking your ego out the door might be the most beneficial thing you do in your creative process. Our conversation takes us into the intriguing ethos behind the agency which is the phrase: Always In Beta. Charl walks us through the iterative heavy process they go through while dishing out some truth and busting a few myths that have overstayed their welcome in the design community. We even discuss Charl's quite involved and optimized morning routine for getting to deep work and being a less horrible, more creative person throughout the day.

Working under the pseudonym Zhu Ohmu, Melbourne ceramicist Rose Wei makes striking organic decorative vessels. Zhu makes the most incredible and almost visceral pieces of ceramic and all done with no formal training. During our chat we dive into how the lack of formal training has actually been a key asset to what she has accomplished. We hear Zhu's thoughts on having a mindset of play and experimentation and how having an openness to failure creates new opportunities and chances for innovation. We dig into getting past a creative block and some fantastic and practical advice that Zhu shares on the topic. We of course hear the ins and outs of her process including some unique ways of getting in the creative zone, doing photoshoots remotely over zoom and an OnProcess first for what she listens to while she works.

Daisy is an extremely intelligent, generous human that is also highly skilled at the art of weaving. This conversation take us to some incredibly interesting parts of Daisy's process, including some of the nearly unbelievable parallels and impacts that weaving has had on the development of technology as we've come to know and love it today. Basically without weaving, there wouldn't be a computer. We also dig into some deep topics like the relevance of art and music in our modern society, which Daisy provides a wonderfully open and shut case for. We spend a good 10 minutes on email inbox and ways to combat the constant barrage of everything that comes with it. During our chat we talk about the creative renaissance that is happening and needs to happen as a collective to problem solve some of the worlds biggest problems. If you've listened to more than one episode of this podcast you should know by now that the specific craft we speak about in each episode although interesting in its own right, it is very much just the tip of the creative iceberg in the amount of universal and translatable creative wisdom that is shared and this episode is no different as Daisy shares some extremely valuable creative insights.

Damien is a multi-disciplinary photographer that has a very unique and highly conceptual way of looking through a lens. His work is theatrical, dynamic and almost surreal. Damien is renowned for his unique approach to the extraction of stories, character and emotion. We uncover some super fascinating aspects of Damien's process like how much storytelling and drawing from his own personal emotional experiences play a role in the success and impact of his photographs. During the episode we dive into the nitty gritty of the crew, production and compositing side of his work as well some of the more personal and relational side of doing business in a creative field. We talk about some of the things Damien has learned in his career including how valuable saying no can be and lessons on pricing, respecting yourself and valuing what you do.

During our conversation we dive deep into Bek's creative practice and process, starting with her transition from a masters of architecture to starting, from scratch, her own furniture line. Bek shares some of her reasons for doing what she does and her deep love for being thorough and hands on in the process down to every last step and detail. We talk about transitioning to something that is new and unknown, but feels right. Bek shares with us some of her personal learnings when going through a transition or making a creative leap and some of the unique perspectives she has on decision making from a more intuitive rather than purely analytical place. We get into what role stillness, peace and dreams play in her practice and ideation process. Bek's work is just overflowing with meaning and we unpack this as she takes us through beauty, function and meaning, the 3 pillars of her core ethos behind everything that she creates. During our chat we hear about Bek's first two years in business and some of the wisdom gained along the way, including why growing slow and sustainable beats blowing up and going viral any day.  Introducing: Bek Hawke On Bespoke Furniture Design   Bek Hawke tovandco.com @tovandco   Links Groundcrew Agency Ferrier Furniture Google Sketchup Five Mile Radius on OnProcess Britton Timbers     Quotes "I started making furniture just as a hobby because I needed furniture and I didn't have any money."   "What drew me to furniture was I loved doing things with my hands."   "I liked the idea of going back to basics and just knowing everything about what I was doing and knowing it really well."   "Learn how to trust your gut and back yourself"   "Let peace be your guide."   "Beauty, function and meaning.

In this slightly more collaborative edition of OnProcess, we begin by diving in with the founder and creator of a very unique and now worldwide movement and workshop series called Open_collab. In a nutshell Open_collab is a series that focuses on serendipitous events utilising random image-making processes that provoke unexpected juxtapositions and chance encounters. During the episode we speak with the acclaimed artist, designer, educator and founder of the project Patrick Thomas, who brings us through the genesis and ethos behind its origins. We also get on the show Chris Norman of 313RGB and Wayne Smith who are creators, educators and designers based in Melbourne, they bring a fascinating perspective having run the last in person Open_collab before the pandemic lockdown. This episode gives a really unique peek behind the curtain of both Patrick's vision for the platform, but also the steps of running the workshop itself. We also talk about some of the key ingredients and principles that make a successful collaboration possible and dig into the love of unpredictability and spontaneity in a creative world that is more traditionally known for control.

Terry John Zila is an incredibly passionate chef based in the midwest of America who uniquely brings a level of expertise and creativity to both sides of the kitchen. Terry is a renowned pastry and savoury chef who is absolutely poetic in the way he speaks about food. I find it remarkable how many times during the episode we find parallels in the creative journey and process between cheffing and other creative pursuits. During our conversation Terry puts to rest some longtime myths and stigmas about chefs and certain anger traits. I love some of the refreshing new perspectives we dive into during this chat, like how Terry views food as art and his complete reverence for the process and every part the craft. We go into the risks and rewards of wrapping your identity too tight with your creative profession and Terry talks us through his fascinating journey in showbiz, through LA and back again. The passion this man has for his craft, for food and the emotional connection it carries is enough to inspire anyone to dive a little deeper into your chosen field.

I've been a huge fan of Mike Perry for a really long time so in an effort to try not to gush I'm going to start with his bio: Mike Perry Studio is an Emmy award winning, multi-dimensional creative studio. Built on a foundation of exploration and wonder, we create without limits. The man is an absolute legend and somehow we managed to pop Mikes podcast cherry as this is his premiere, very first podcast interview! This episode is pure gold and trust me you're going to want to listen to it end to end and have a notebook nearby because there are so many words of wisdom and incredible insights into Mike's brain. During the episode we get to hear Mike's philosophy on creativity, why he feels compelled to do what he does and some of the dirty details of his process and his daily routines. We dig into how Mike's, almost stream of consciousness work, is made and how his creative output is as staggeringly high as it is. Mike shares how when looking for answers and creative solutions he looks inwards and often finds them in his catalogued 30 years of sketchbooks. We talk about how Mike calls bullshit on the typical pressure of being really good at only one thing and what it was like to pitch to Comedy Central for the Broad City Titles. This episode is guaranteed to make you laugh and be inspired or your money back.

"I try not to spend a lot of time getting lost in the nuances of what I'm doing, I don't question myself I just truly love and enjoy the process." "The process is the thing that makes me keep going to the studio." "When my hands are dirty and I'm covered in paint and I'm deep in the shit, that's when I know that I'm doing the best work." "It's not about the ONE thing its about the entire thing, its about all of it, its about my time on this planet and the things that I make over that time period." "I'm trying to make things that fill people with joy." "Between 4 and 10am it's my time, there are no interruptions, I have all this creative energy that I can just absorb and make and believe in." "We need to not give ourselves so much pressure to accomplish these things, but we still have to do the work." "Isn't it weird that our teachers are telling you to become really good at one thing, when in reality we should be vastly diverse humans that are experiencing the world and curious." "My ideas are not limited to a medium or a format, my ideas are only limited to my brain." "My sketchbooks are dedicated to me being present now and sending messages into the future."

Brett is a multidisciplinary designer, artist, signwriter, conference host and the list goes on, and in this episode we cover quite a bit but we largely focus in on his artist residency in Japan and his most recent work that plays on the theme of control. Brett takes us through his thoughts on using the lack of control as a positive rather than a negative. We get a peek inside a day in the life of Brett during his residency in remote Itoshima which included collecting local leaves and branches by bicycle to make custom brushes and catching rainwater to mix his inks. We spend a good chunk of time reveling in Japanese culture and we also tackle a few big creative questions like maybe the holy grail quest for one singular style isn't all its cracked up to be? Brett has a shared love for the process and a reverence for craft, so our chat takes us to some naturally deep and wonderful places.

We go into Bobby's process of making music and all that comes with it from touring, to recording, playing gigs live vs in the studio, instruments, gear and beyond. We get a special bonus round of process too as Bobby breaks down his process and principles of how to nap well. Bobby takes us through his love for the process and how he went from being in 12 bands, busking on the streets of Canada to touring across the world with Xavier Rudd. We talk about how to breath and lean into pressure and anxiety, slowing things down, enjoying the process and having respect for the long game.

Joyce is a Hong Kong born, Australian designer, based in New York City who absolutely destroys in the motion design space. What's always drawn me to her work is the unique blend of digital and analogue textures and emotion that come with it. During the episode we get into some fun corners of the creative process including talking with Joyce about the challenges and wins of her moving to New York. We pick apart piece by piece some title projects and work she did with Hasan Minaj for his wonderful Netflix show The Patriot Act.

Chloe is a unique artist, and one that I couldn't wait to chat to. Simply put but definitely not simply made, she makes soft food. Created using only wool and thread, she creates one of a kind, intricate sculptures replicating everything from Japanese cleaning supplies to cans of tuna in a really subversive and somehow hilarious way. During the episode we touch on imposter syndrome and how Chloe battles with some of the stereotypes and typecasting that comes with the territory. We cover some deep topics like what does true authenticity look like in the creative process and some lighter things like why we are all so obsessed with the design of foreign food packaging. We talk about the very interesting and polarizing topic of specializing vs generalizing and what challenges and benefits that come with each direction.

This episode takes us to some insightful, intentional and almost spiritual places and Ani of The Stone Willow Studio brings us there while we dive into her art and practice of floral design. Using a technique called Ikebana which dates back to the 6th century, Ani's process is rooted in many layers of symbolism and mindfulness. During the episode we talk about the power of learning to let go of control during the creative process, being unattached from the final outcome and how being present with your craft pays dividends far beyond just producing something of better quality. Ani walks us through her Japanese influenced process including the use of Yin Yoga as a technique to help her become more focussed, present and come up with new ideas. There are so many analogies for life when Ani speaks about her process of working with such an ephemeral object. We discover the incredible and inspiring story of how Ani went from traveling between Monaco, London and New York as a foreign exchange trader to her current, you could argue opposite end of the spectrum, creative career path as floral designer. She also shares some practical advice for others looking to make a similar career change. The amount of wisdom that is extracted from the process in this episode is truly incredible, I hope you enjoy.

Five Mile Radius is an extremely fascinating and uniquely intentional architecture studio that focuses on using locally sourced materials. Five Mile Radius is not only pushing the boundaries of materials used in their visually stunning projects, but also challenging the ethics and practices typically used in architecture firms. During this episode Claire takes us through the core ethos of what they do and how it revolves around the focus of being interested in creating buildings that are born of their environment. We talk about how by developing a deep level of understanding for the community, materials and local skills, each project Five Mile Radius takes on is a practice in understanding and gaining respect for the things around them and rejecting the traditional trajectory of building something as fast, cheap and big as possible.

Barry Spencer is literally a doctor of typography, with an honours dissertation on the essence of latin letterforms and a doctoral thesis to back it up! Perhaps more importantly though, Barry is an avid experimenter and creator using typography as his canvas, challenging the very boundaries and questioning the very form of what makes a letterform. Barry is quoted as often making letters that may or may not look like letters. During our chat, we break open his experimental process behind making a typeface, how he uses each step and serendipitous turn as a jumping off point for the next project and using things like asking the question "What If?” to take things to the next level.

With a decade of design experience in the tech startup space and degrees in Computing, Multimedia, Game Design and Computer science Daniel shares some hugely valuable insights, principles and processes that he is using with his team to build some of the most forward thinking, hi-tech and also hi-empathy apps on the market. During our chat we cover a lot of ground starting with dissecting the multiple up and coming built for purpose programs being used in product design. We go granular and talk the importance of workflow when working in a team at a fast pace, and Daniel gives us some of the current tools and programs his team is using which are changing as rapidly as the industry itself. We talk about some of the principles behind product design like the collaborative process, iteration, being outcome driven, and testing often. We get some great insights from Daniel around what he’s learned along the way, like how done is better than perfect, shipping fast and learning as you go.

With a wonderfully unorthodox start to the skill set, Dodgy Roger of Dodgy Paper takes us through his genesis and process of what is such a unique, fascinating and also steeped in literally thousands of years of tradition, the art of making paper. What Dodgy Paper brings to the foreground is not just the use of recycled paper, but using this feature as a focal point, embracing the irregularities rather than hiding them. Dodgy takes things as far ranging as candy wrappers and parking fines transforming them into gorgeous hand made paper. During our chat we talk about how important and enjoyable it can be to just dive in head first learning by trial and error rather than over analyzing. We dive into practical ways to get into the creative flow state,  discuss the joy of discovering and exploring different disciplines and even get into a bit about personal branding.

Known as one half of South East Queensland based creative duo Frank & Mimi, Rick Hayward is now translating 15 years of traditional sign writing and 8 years of collaborative public art into a contemporary studio and public art practice. During our chat, we start with Rick taking us through the beautiful process, history and technique of hand painting signs. Sign writing is extremely fascinating in how it strikes a balance of part utilitarian product and part high level of craftsmanship, detail and artistry. We talk about the evolving trajectory of Rick's creative career as he takes us through the ins and outs of his very conscientious and intentional decision to transition his practice. We touch on some really interesting creative topics such as how technology can be a great tool but sometimes equally distracting from the foundations of a craft. I really love the process nuances we dive into in this episode, including learning about an essential sign painting tool called a mahl stick, what it means to be left handed in the industry and how your oily nose could come in handy in a pinch.

"Often what defines a letterform is actually the negative space, not so much what you're painting, but what surrounds it." "Letterforms are something that I like to consider as more of an art than a science.

Hungry Workshop is not your average print studio, they are a powerhouse creative studio that is part letterpress specialty printing, part design studio that pride themselves on partnering with creative people, agencies and brands, creating intimate, physical moments. Run by the dynamic duo Simon and Jenna Hipgrave, this studio pumps out an exceptionally high standard of work in everything they touch. Summing up the ethos behind their work is the phrase "For work that holds weight" and if you have ever felt a beautifully printed piece of letterpress stationery, that phrase will very easily resonate with you. Letterpress has a level of tangibility and tactile quality that is only achievable with this very special printing process. During our chat Jenna and Simon take us through the nitty gritty of their process including the history and origins of letterpress from the presses being flown and dropped literally from airplanes into warzones to print propaganda posters to now being used for high end specialty printing. We talk about what's changed over the years and why they are able to do such experimental and wonderful things on the press today. We also touch on the idea of innovation through constraints and hear how working with a machine and technology that is close to 600 years old actually inspires progression and experimentation rather than stifling it.

"Because the elements are so limiting, you're really forced to think laterally about the things that you can do." "These machines are like a precision german wristwatch meets a diesel truck engine." "What's really interesting about letterpress printing and the print production process is that its been around forever and it will continue to be around forever." "When we're producing something that is letterpress printed, it has a real kind of sculptural quality to it." "The very best papers are the thick fluffy ones, with cotton content... the thicker and softer the better with letterpress."   Original Theme Music by Devin Luke - devinlukemusic.com Stay In Touch onprocess.com @onprocesspodcast     If this episode helped you in any way, we would love your support.

I love Magda's ability to push her craft to the absolute maximum. Experimenting on a daily basis, using different techniques and technologies to create innovative and unique work using only paper. Magda is extremely skilled in the very unique and tactile art of paper craft. Her versatile skill-set has brought her to working alongside some very well known clients such as KFC and Dulux where she beautifully manipulates paper to create a piece of art that is often animated as well! We talk about creative flow, the value of personal projects and challenges like tight deadlines, mass image editing and getting started. Magda breaks down for us the step by step of how she goes from flat piece of paper to full campaign of intricate and ridiculously detailed sculptures. We even go into some new technology being introduced that is influencing the process behind Magda’s work.   Magda Ksiezak hellomagda.com @okaykiosk     Links PaperMeal Series Brother sdx1000 @Ollanski   Magda's Setup - Continuous Video Light - Manfrotto Tripod - Cannon 60d - DragonFrame - Brother SDX1000 - After Effects     Quotes "The best part [of the process] is getting in the flow, so the experimentation, feeling a buzz from creating things that I didn't anticipate would be created."   "Essentially it's all about the idea right, the story that you're telling."   "Sometimes it will just be something in the way the light is hitting it and the shadow it's casting, just that will kind of spark, you know like an idea."   " I went to a cafe and saw these preserved veggies in a jar and just the way they were, the gradient on them, I was like very inspired at that moment to create something."   "Most of the things that got me commercial work were personal projects."     Original Theme Music by Devin Luke - devinlukemusic.com     Stay In Touch onprocess.com @onprocesspodcast   If this episode helped you in any way, we would love your support.

Pretty excited to be introducing animation juggernaut Alex Grigg, someone whom I've been a fan of for quite some time. His work is incredibly emotive, full of texture and uniquely physical and tactile motion. We talk through a few of Alex's award winning short films going behind the scenes into his workflow and how it has changed and refined over the years. Alex blends a beautiful experimental and almost improvisational feeling into his films and we get to talk though how this particular style is injected into his projects. We touch on how vital experimentation and personal projects are to not only creating great work but also getting clients and more work.   Alex Grigg Alexgrigg.com @alexxgrigg     Links loopdeloop.org vimeo.com/loopdeloop Phantom Limb Born In A Void Steven Pressfield “The War Of Art” Seth Godin “Linchpin” Alex’s Photoshop Animation Tutorial Greg Sharp’s “Old Feed” Greg Sharp Flying Lotus “Turtles” Skillbard Bryce Pemberton Richard Chhoa Illusion Of Life Disney Animation Book 12 Principles Of Animation Wacom Mobile Studio Pro Dropbox     Alex's Setup - After Effects - Premier Pro - TV Paint - Animate - Cinema 4d     Quotes "By having those really tight deadlines, it just forces me to get creative with what I have to finish."   "Just finishing the work is the most important thing, and the polish and the finesse is gravy."   "When I was growing up, the idea of having a career in creative industries was like sorta, it was akin to wanting to be an astronaut."   "One of the reasons I do what I do, is like, I like every part of the process, which has naturally led me to sort of like  making all these personal projects."   "Animation is very focussed on abstracting forms to make them appealing and achievable for animation."   "Seeing how you can create this little like, living, breathing creature, character out of nothing, it is kind of magical."   "Every day I come to work and I'm like well, I guess I suck still, so I can still be working on it, I can still be pushing myself."     Original Theme Music by Devin Luke - devinlukemusic.com     Stay In Touch onprocess.com @onprocesspodcast   If this episode helped you in any way, we would love your support.

Spencer is a fascinating visual artist and perhaps summarizing his work best is his biogrpahy which states "Inspired by his background in science, Spencer draws from the scientific method, building his practice around a methodology of questioning, experimentation and perpetual curiosity." During our chat we uncover Spencer’s broad and deep reading habits along with his extremely intricate pre-exhbitiion workflow and preparation. He dishes out some really helpful links and resources he uses to source inspiration, reference materials, unpublished books from the 1800s and beyond. We talk about everything from how play is a hugely important part of the experimentation and creative process to how Spencer’s mindfulness practice influences his artwork.   Spencer Harrison Spenceroni.com @spenceroni     Links Colour by David Batchelor archive.org insighttimer.com Composition Notebook LG Mini Beam Projector The Dave Brubeck Quartet "Time Out" Marconi Union "Weightless" 10 Hour Song This American Life Radiolab To The Best Of Our Knowledge Big Magic     Quotes "Play is my best method of experimenting."   "Play has been something that has been very prominent in my practice, since I studied at Uni."   "The other think I like to do when I'm in a bit more of an experimental phase, is even like delete social media off my phone."   "I don't really kind of think of an idea and then create an artwork, I more kind of like create an artwork parallel to an idea and then the two kind of come together at some point."   "A lot of kind of creating art is about finding out about yourself."   "With the creative process, if you have infinite possibilities, it just leads to infinite anxiety, so having some kind of structure helps focus you a little bit and give you a starting point."   "The actual making of the artwork is the most enjoyable part of the process for me."   "I actually like physically kind of working with paint and materials and sanding things and you know putting them together, it's a very kind of meditative and satisfying process."     Original Theme Music by Devin Luke - devinlukemusic.com     Stay In Touch onprocess.com @onprocesspodcast   If this episode helped you in any way, we would love your support.

Gangplank is the award winning mastermind of creative powerhouses Brenton Craig & Tia Queen. The studio is unique in how they were founded with a vision to invigorate brands with equal passion and pace through a collaborative, nimble and proudly unconventional approach. It is incredibly insightful to hear the interworking of how a design sprint is run, and it's not all that you think, less about speed an d more about efficiency, these guys are pros at building rapport, trust and connection rather than hiding behind bloated email presentations. So many applicable lessons and takeaways from this episode that I know I personally will be implementing in my process immediately. We talk about how vulnerability, transparency, action and courage are vital keys to building brands not only from the design side but also building relationships on a human level.     Gangplank gangplank.com @studiogangplank     Links Design Sprint Google Design Sprints The Sprint Book     Quotes "It's all about action and taking risks, and embracing the fact that the creative world is all about risks."   "We just say to our clients, we know nothing."   "The biggest thing that comes from the [sprint] workshops is the sense of rapport and trust and connection with the clients that we work with."   "It's a balance of passion and pace."   "Ultimately once you have a creative direction and an insight that you've found together, expressing it is really easy."   "If you're just sort of responding with a document each time, that kind of goes against what our whole philosophy of creating and cultivating the connection and trust with a brand or person is."   "Our whole philosophy is about action and courage and not knowing the exact finished picture before coming in on that sprint day, but just knowing direction were going."   "I do love strategy, but at the end of the day, strategy is nothing if you don't actually do something."     Original Theme Music by Devin Luke - devinlukemusic.com

You have to see Claire Foxton's work in person to believe it, the term large scale mural artist doesn't even begin to do her justice.
